Boadicea the Victorious Virtuous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Virtuous opens with Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Labdanum. Boadicea the Victorious's Virtuous carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast, not for the faint of heart. Some find its initial blast off-putting, a challenging blend of spice and deep woods, but it settles into something surprisingly wearable. You'll either love its bold, Arabian character or find it utterly perplexing.

About

Virtuous kicks off with a sharp, almost bitter saffron, quickly joined by a dominant, jammy rose. As it warms, a robust, earthy oud emerges, grounded by the rich, resinous depth of labdanum and the creamy solace of sandalwood and cedar. A subtle musk weaves throughout, adding a plush, slightly powdery finish to this complex, oriental woody affair.
